ASTHMA THE CAUSE OF DEATH
Wlfs's Extremt Grief Brings on Hys
teria Which Rtqulrcs the Attend
ant f Two Physicians Kino
Qasrgs ths Fifth Sends Message of
Sympathy to President Taft
ketch of the Diplomat.
London, Dec. 16. Wtaltelaw Reld,
the American ambassador, who bad
been III from asthma for several
months, and who had been tn bad
health ever since his return from
America In October, died at Dorches
ter House. The physicians gave the
cause of death as asthma following
rxhaustlon.
King George was Informed Immedi
ately ol 'Mr. Reld'a death and he sent
Sir Harry I. egg, an equarry, to Dor
chester House to express the condo
lences of their majesties. The king
also sent a cablegram of condolence
tc President Taft.
Mrs. Reld, his daughter, Mrs. John
Hubert Ward, and four physicians
vere at the bedside when the end
came. Mrs. Reld persisted In her
hopes for the recovery of her husband
till the very end, when, realizing that
he was dead, her extreme grief
brought on hysteria and she required
the attendance of two physicians.
Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to
the king, who was called in last week
v.hen Mr. Rett's illness became acute,
r.nd his regular physician, Dr. Wil
liam Hale White, issued the following
bulletin as to the cause of death:
"A fortnight ago the American am
bassador h..d a slight bronchlal-at:
tack, similar to others from which he
had auffeied at considerable inter
vals. On Wednesday last asthma su
pervened and the asthmatic par
oxysms became very severe, leading
to extreme exhaustion.
"It was hoped that he might rally,
as no pneumonic symptoms had ar
reared. With difficulty the paroxysms
of asthma were got under control, but
Sunday the exhaustion became ex
treme, and he died from pulmonary
cedema at 12:10 p. m."
Gazette, writing over the nom de
plume of "Agate.'1 He was the only
corresj ondent that witnessed the bat
tle of Shiloh from its start to Its tin
Irh, and It was his account of this
battle that stamped him as a corre
spondent of the first rank. His ten
column story was widely copied. v
In 1862 he became tho correspon
dent of the Gazette at Washington.
His report of the proceedings of the
impeachment of President Johnson
attracted the attention of Horace
Greeley, who persuaded Mr. Reld to
Accept a place on the political staff of
the Tribune. His post was leading
editorial writer, with a salary next to
Mr. Greeley's.
In J $72, after the nomination of
Mr. Greeley for president, Mr. Reld
as made editor In chief of the
Tribune. After Mr. Greeley's defeat
and retirement from active life, Mr.
Reld, on the strength of his reputa
tion as a successful editor and news
paper manager, borrowed enough
money to buy proprietary control of
the paper.
In 1881 he married the daughter of
D. Ogden Mills, a Callfornian of great
wealth, who removed shortly to New
"iork. .Mis. Held and her brother di

two children, Ogden Mills Held, who
recently succeeded his father In ac
tive control of the Tribune, and Mlis

young women In fashionable society.

SUICIDE
Attempted By Goldie Spicer
At Fredericktown
But Her Litems Saved By
A Physician
Fredericktown, Ohio, Dec. 16
Goldie 8plcer, aged about 18 years,
residing at this place, took two tea
spoonsful 'of bichloride of mercury at
about eight o'clock Monday morning
In an attempt to commit suicide. Her
life was saved by antidotes which
were administered as soon as a physi
cian reached her. Her reason for try
Ing to take her life is not definitely
known.
The Spicer girl has, for the past
several years, been making her home
with Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Smith of
thin place, her parents being dead,
und had never before made an attempt
at violence. Mrs. Smith said that
the girl bad mentioned the fact that
she was angry at someboly, but had
not signified her intention to commit
suicide. The poison wus taken In the
presence of both Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
and Dr. J. H, Norrlck was called im
mediately. He was of the opinion
thut the amount of poison taken
might not have caused death even
though antidotes had not been admin
Isteied, The Spicer girl has nothing to say
abou the matter and will give no
reacon for attempting to kill her.elf.
of the Firth district is scheduled to
hold court at Wooster, In Wayne
county. Thus the first session of tho
new appellate court In Richland coun
ty will be exactly three weeks where
as It has heretofore been stated thai
the appellate court would come here
the first of January and hold a session
lasting four months.
The officials at tho sheriff's office
and elsewhere in the court house In
terpret this to mean that the appel
late court will continuo its sessions
for the first year the same as the cir
cuit court has been doing for many
years and about the only change wilt
be in the name and Jurisdiction of
the court so far as can be seen at thlB
time. It Is stated that a the end of
another year possibly whn the Ohio
legislature has had a chance to pass
on this appellate court centralization
proposition, Mansfield nnd other cities
in the different circuits may be se
lected as points In which to bold the
major part of court of this degree. In
the meantime It is claimed around the
court house that the sessions of appel
late court will be the same as those
of he old circuit court, not over three
weeks in extent at a time In any one
county.
